Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: PERRY marriages
« on: Tuesday 08 October 13 13:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi a very belated thanks for that, i must have missed this thread somewhere along the way.

With regards to the Quick marriage, there were a number of children born quick mmn perry between the marriage and his early death, but only one in portsmouth, the other's have no location link to wandsworth.  I will contact portsmouth cemeteries for any burial/Mi info on the parents to see what they have.
i wondered if there was any more info available to be sure it's theirs?
the index says   Mary E W Quick 4th qtr 1927 mmn Perry  bn portsmouth

i've followed the family line down from mary but can find no family trees to help me.

actually can i add a couple of bessie and eleanor's nieces, there was a probate in ealing which looked possible but the age was out by 4 years. any further info on these two would be great. Parents are edward thomas perry & maud elizabeth tollervey
Dorothy maud perry bn 4th qtr 1901 @ portsmouth, is on 1911c in pompey
Gladys Perry no birth index, 1911c says aged 5 bn portsmouth

appreciate any help thanks

Glamorganshire / Re: Edward Perry 1851c

There's one in Lincolnshire in 1901 born Rushall which is near Upavon.  He's a lodger and single age transcribed as 68.  Occupation gardener?? (jobbing) Could be.

Hi millie, yes i'd put that in my tree before but when checking any other edwards, it could be edward ephraim perry bn rushall and the age is 60 rather than 68 on the census.  I haven't been able to complete ephraim's line to eliminate him.  The other thing perhaps is that edward wasn't mentioned in his dad's will with all the other surviving children, which could mean he was dead before 1885.

Glamorganshire / Edward Perry 1851c
« on: Thursday 19 September 13 15:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi i've found a possible 1851c at Cadoxton juxta Neath, for my great uncle edward perry, surname spelt as Per on the census. Aged 19 bn wiltshire.  He seems to be with a large group of farm workers, this page all wiltshire folk, another one of which is james giddins who later marries edward's sister rhoda. He was bn in charlton st peter, nr upavon wilts in 1832.

I can't find any later census records or welsh deaths that stand out, i just wondered if it was worth asking people with local info if there is anything else i could look at?  In all likelihood he couldn't write so there's no saying how he would spell his name. His other siblings have scattered all over the south of england and one in australia.

appreciate any help thanks

potentially they may have only been up there a few months, with alfred and jean both registered in south stoneham with about 18 months gap, then they are unlikely to have had a child inbetween. Sorry but i thought jean was bn later than that.

looking at that southampton death now in 1829 for A A Hollis, aged 43, worryingly that does tie in with the age on the census for the southampton bn alfred hollis.  will have a look at the papers later for a death notice.

Same woman we think yes?

Alfred brass moulder with wife Mabel are boarders in Coventry with son Alfred 1.

yes i saw this, i thought initially it was alfred with mabel bellinger but the ages and marriage date are all wrong. The census has mabel as the wife's name and all three bn southampton, which i've checked it does say.  i can find neither alfred birth for southampton, the ages for the adults vary by a couple of years, and the moulder occupation is interesting.
I'm trying to think what else i could rule out or find out about them that might say their names?  i suppose i should check for births in coventry.

thanks for your help folks. dad will be able to go visit his gran's grave for the first time, and i've got a big hollis family to work through.  I never did find their 1911c, so perhaps it's hiding under a typo.

thanks nanny jan, i was sitting looking at the freebmd results for my wells children, which didn't have that, but as soon as i narrowed the years in the search it showed up.  Firstly he has to be his son, and secondly he dies in exeter which is where my aunts, also wells are from.  If i could find the young fella's 1911c that should be all of them hopefully.

interesting that the alfred henry hollis, bn southhampton married mabel alice bellinger portsea 1898, said he was a brass moulder on the census.  on jean's marriage cert ajhollis occupation was moulder.

i still haven't found mary emily wells marriage.

thanks for your help

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / marriage index?
« on: Wednesday 18 September 13 12:59 BST (UK)  »
hi i'm struggling to find a marriage index for an alfred jacob hollis to someone with the maiden name wells.  I've had good old look around online and i'm not finding their index. I know they had a child jean hollis in nov 1911, and there are two possible other births with wells mmn, in the same district of S. Stoneham.  The alfred jacob hollis comes from jean's marriage cert as the father.  I'm expecting them to be in the portsmouth area. I will order jean's birth cert when i've got some spare cash but the marriage index would help for now.

i also had a look for a birth or marriage notice in the papers but again came up blank  :(
appreciate any help thanks

hi thanks for the offer, sadly it looks like a dead end as the record office said they could find nothing in their usual research areas.

thanks
